Abstract: Described herein is a cloud-based gaming system in which graphics processing operations of a cloud-based game can be performed on a client device. Client-based graphics processing can be enabled in response to a determination that the client includes a graphics processor having a performance that exceeds a minimum threshold. When a game is remotely executed and streamed to a client, the client is configurable to provide network feedback that can be used to adjust execution and/or encoding for the game.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for encoding a current video frame that includes labeling points/regions for the current video frame using graphics information for the current video frame, matching the points/regions of the current video frame with points/regions of a previous video frame using the labels for the points/regions of the current video frame and deriving motion vectors for the points/regions of the current video frame.

Abstract: A method for controlling transmission rate for video streaming based on queuing delay, includes determining a queuing delay for a packet transmitted from a source to a destination over a packet switched network and adjusting a transmission rate of the source in response to the determined queuing delay.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing error correction to a video stream transmitted from a server to a client device, wherein the server is connected to an intermediate module over a bandwidth-limited network and the intermediate module is connected to the client device over a lossy network. The method includes intercepting data transmitted from the bandwidth-limited network to the lossy network by the intermediate module, identifying the video stream for error correction from the intercepted data at the intermediate module, generating error correction data for the video stream by the intermediate module and transmitting a modified stream that includes the video stream and the error correction data over the lossy network to the client device by the intermediate module.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for generating signatures and locating/executing associations for a game program. In this way, hints pertaining to particular gameplay contexts for the game program may be located for a user in an automatic manner without requiring the user to manually locate the hint.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for providing an improved approach for rendering graphics that can utilize both server-side rendering and client-side rendering for the same display frame. In this way, the different visual objects within the same frame can be rendered using either approach, either at the server or at the client.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for delivering visual content that improves network bandwidth utilizations. The visual data is separated into multiple categories, where the data for different categories are delivered using different bandwidth utilizations schemes. A first category of the data is delivered at a higher frame rate than the frame rate for a second category of the data.

Abstract: An improved approach for a remote graphics rendering system that can utilize both server-side processing and client-side processing for the same display frame. Some techniques for optimizing a set of graphics command data to be sent from the server to the client include: eliminating some or all data, that is not needed by a client GPU to render one or more images, from the set of graphics command data to be transmitted to the client; applying precision changes to the set of graphics command data to be transmitted to the client; and performing one or more data type compression algorithms on the set of graphics command data.

Abstract: A container layer for allowing a plurality of game instances running on an operating system to maintain full game functionality is configured to intercept a communication from a game instance of the plurality of game instances to the operating system and provide an appropriate response to the intercepted communication.

Abstract: A method for performing speech-based commands in a system for remote content delivery, includes receiving speech, recognizing the speech, transmitting the speech to a speech server, receiving a device-based signal corresponding to the speech from the speech server when the speech is a speech-based command, forwarding the device-based signal to a streaming server; and receiving content from the streaming server corresponding to the device-based signal.
